I'm so sorry to hear that. I will keep praying that everything turns out ok!

--Previous Message-- : We did, there are abnormalities on the 16th : and 17th chromosomes. We are waiting to see : how much information is missing or : duplicated on the chromosomes, they are also : testing to see if by some miracle it is a : benign malformation that one of us carry but : the chances of that are slim to none. It : looks like she will probably not make it. : : --Previous Message-- : Thank you so much Lori! : It helps so much to know that other people : have gone through the same thing and come : out on the other side. I had the CVS on : Thursday, which hurt so badly! We find out : Monday about 13, 18 and 21 but have to wait : another week for full results. I don't know : how to keep life going in the meantime, do I : buy maternity pants, do I not. I am scared : to connect and keep planning in case it is a : chromosomal abnormality and I have to say : goodbye to the baby all over again. My email : is leiagrace@hotmail.com. Thank you so much : for help. : : --Previous Message-- : We did have to play the waiting game since : he : wasn't diagnosed with PRS until 2 weeks : after birth. It was a very scary and : emotional time for us, mainly because we : didn't know what was going on. You have an : advantage in that you can prepare for this : and get as much information on these : conditions as you can so you are not caught : off guard. Although the stuff on the : internet may sound hopeless and be very : overwhelming, you will find on here that : many of the children are doing great. It is : amazing what doctors can do these days and a : lot of these kids lead very normal lives, : even the ones who have syndromes associated : with the recessed jaw and cleft palate. I : wish I would have found this website a lot : earlier, because it would have helped to : read about other's experiences and know that : they went through the same thing and : everything turned out fine for them in the : end. The people on this board are very : supportive and will help you with any : questions or concerns you have. : : If you ever need anything, please let me : know and I'd be happy to send you my # or : email address. Good luck and please keep us : updated! : : --Previous Message-- : Our doctor said it could be one of 60 : different syndromes or just PRS which is : what we are all hoping for. Did you have to : do the waiting game? Were they afraid the : jaw could indicate something else? They are : just double checking for chromosomal : abnormalities now even though my scan was 1 : in 10,000 for 13, 18 and 21. We are so : scared and feel like there is no hope. How : do we get through this? Were you scared? : : --Previous Message-- : Yes, our doctor is even able to detect PRS : by : 12 weeks. It was very visible on the : ultrasounds. My son had a moderate to severe : recessed jaw. He had a jaw distraction done : at 4 weeks old and you'd never know it. He : looks like every other kid his age and it : completely fixed the PRS. : : --Previous Message-- : Hi, : My husband and I are expecting our first : child in June. At my 13 week ultrasound to : check for Downs Syndrome the doctor said the : baby's chin was severely recessed and small. : They sent us for a level II ultrasound which : showed the same thing. The perinatalogist : said that it could be one of 80 different : syndromes and makes it seem like we should : terminate. The genetic counselor on the : other hand thinks it is PRS and just : physical. W go for a CVS tomorrow. Did : anyone with children with PRS see a recessed : chin on ultrasound this early? : : : : : : : : : : :
